The fascinating and inspiring story of Walt Disney—the creator of Mickey Mouse, and whose artistry, imagination and vision helped define 20th-century America—has been brought to life at The Walt Disney Family Museum in The Presidio of San Francisco. The Museum illuminates Walt Disney’s tremendous successes, disappointments, and unyielding optimism as he worked tirelessly to enhance the art of animation. The creator of Mickey Mouse, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disneyland and much more, he was a risk-taker who influenced popular culture through animated and live-action films, television programs, theme parks and new technologies. Co-founded by Walt’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller, and grandson, Walter E.D. Miller, the Museum is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Family Foundation, a non-profit foundation.
